The Daily Alison (Where I stalk Eugene Mirman and then talk about seafood and graduation)

Today my guest is comedian and Brooklynite Eugene Mirman who recently gave a hilarious commencement speech at a high school graduation. Was that redundant? I mean, you wouldn’t really give a commencement speech at a prom. Or sporting event. Or a funeral. Yet if I were to say that he recently gave a commencement speech at a high school that would sound, well, it just would sound sort of incomplete while being technically correct. Anyway, enjoy. Tomorrow my guest is notorious internet figure Julia Allison.

    Can you look into the blog archives and reenact that Red Eye – Fight Skit that I wrote between you and Julia?

    Alison Rosen + Julia Allison = One Great VLOG, I can't wait!

    “A good commencement speech would be having someone dress up like Chris Farley in the skit of the man who lives in the van by the river. It would scare students to continue to go back to school.”

    Speaking as a man who lives in a van by the river, I take great exception to this remark.
